searching out prospective/potential/possible new work
Explanation:
or trying to find/seeking out artworks that might be suitable for selection


I agree with Francis in Disc that this is the type of research they have to do...If they are going to be part of selection committee they need to come up with some potential works that might be included

We wouldn't use the verb "prospecting" here but the adjective "prospective"=possible/potential:
and it's not "market research" but doing research ON the market
